Correct Answer: 1-d, 2-a, 3-e, 4-b, 5-c

The correct matching:

  • Ring womb: Ewe — failure of cervical dilation during parturition, most common in ewes (ovine). The cervix remains tightly closed (incomplete dilation) despite uterine contractions, preventing delivery.
  • Uterine torsion: Buffalo — very common in buffaloes compared to cattle. The uterus rotates on its longitudinal axis, causing dystocia. Treatment is by 'plank in the flank' method (Schaffer's method) or rolling the animal.
  • Uterine inertia: Sow — primary uterine inertia (failure of uterine contractions) is most common in sows, especially in large litters where myometrial exhaustion occurs.
  • Fertilization site in Birds: Infundibulum (the first part of the avian oviduct, where the egg is fertilized immediately after ovulation).
  • Fertilization site in Domestic Animals: Ampullary-isthmic junction of the oviduct (fallopian tube).
